In plain terms
What is an eID?
SSO
One login
Sign in once and use every connected government service. No separate password for each agency.
eSignature
Sign documents online.
Your eID signature is legally valid. No printing, signing, and scanning.
Trust by Design
Built to protect your identity — not just store it
Civil Registry–verified
Every identity is checked against the Civil Registry — the government's single authoritative source of truth.
PKI & HSM–protected keys
Signing and credential keys live in hardware-protected vaults. They're never exported, never exposed.
Privacy by default
Services only ever receive the minimum information they need to work — nothing is shared beyond that.
Full audit trail
Every login, signature, and access event is logged and monitored, around the clock.
Multi-Factor Authentication
A second factor is required before any sensitive action — every time, no exceptions.
Evidence-based signing
Documents you sign carry cryptographic, timestamped, tamper-evident proof under the PAdES standard.
Your data is never shared beyond what a service actually needs — that's not a policy promise, it's how the platform is built.
